Any news about heroes?

Gameplay Design Here's a few details on some of the design concepts that will make GT fun. Teamwork A Goblin's Tale is a Hero Defense / RPG hybrid that will feature a great deal of active teamwork. This is not merely just to say that it involves complementary class roles such as "Healer" or "Tank," like just about everything else does, but indeed the players' abilities will chain together effectively and intuitively and combine to create new and devastating combos, such as a Rogue using his Grappling Hook to pull a wayward murloc into an electric wall created by an Engineer, or a Steamwarrior spreading an Alchemist's poison gas clouds with the wind force of an earth-shattering blow. And that's just the start of the possibilities... skilled players will find it easy and intuitive to string together more advanced combos consisting of several moves from separate players in quick succession with devastating results far greater than the sum of their parts. Each of the abilities are carefully considered and possess a wide range of synergistic possibilities with the abilities of all the other classes. Dynamic Enemies The murlocs of A Goblin's Tale are not merely hp bags of increasing size with differing models, as is the unfortunate case with so very many Hero Defense games. Instead, murlocs will use a great variety of units, each with their own array of special abilities and their own teamwork strategies that you will have to counter. Each new enemy type will not simply be a bigger enemy with more hp or more attack damage... it will add a new layer to the game's strategy!

-The Steam Warrior- (1) Rocket Fist: The Steam Warrior launches his giant steel fist at enemies, damaging foes in a line and pushing them back a good distance. Possibly deals extra damage if you push an enemy into a wall. Useful for putting enemies right where you want them, as well as team efforts (for example, Rocket Fist can be used to move an Engineer's turret with its knockback effect) (2) Pocket Shield: The Steam Warrior tosses a shield generator to a target ally providing a brief pulse of energy that makes them invulnerable for a few seconds before the battery shorts out. Useful for "bouncing aggro," moving enemies off of one target in order to attack another. (3) God Hand: The Steam Warrior leaps into the air and slams the ground with his giant metal hand of doom and squashes murlocs in a compact area (making them tiny and weak for a short time!). Additionally, this ability is useful for team combos, and the mighty impact will disperse ally effects for team combos (making them go out to a wider area). For example, the wind generated by the shockwave of God Hand will blow an alchemist's poison clouds all over, affecting more murlocs! (Standard) Tenderizer: The Steam Warrior's heavy, blunt blows take their toll on an enemy, softening up heavily armored targets for the real DPSers. Each attack from the steam warrior has a chance to lower armor on a target enemy. Tenderizer can stack with itself. (Ultimate) Electro-Grasp: Why punch murlocs when you can make the murlocs come to the punch? The Steam Warrior's fist employs powerful bioelectric magnets to cause all enemies within range to be pulled towards a big steel knuckle sandwich at frightening speeds, both pulling everything to the Steam Warrior and stunning them for a bit (and of course damage). _____ -Overall- The Steam Warrior is a durable tank that is the master of battlefield control, able to put the enemy right where he wants them, control who they're attacking, break enemy channelers, and push and pull units around. There is a great teamwork dynamic here. The Steam Warrior has to "prepare" the most heavily armored targets for his allies with Tenderizer, he can spread area effects and minimize enemies with God Hand, he can control aggro and save allies with Pocket Shield, he outright takes on everything for a while with Electro-Grasp, and Rocket Fist can push enemies right into allied effects or push allied effects (like, say, a turret) into the range of new enemies. He doesn't do a lot of damage directly, but by protecting and supporting his allies he is an invaluable member of any team!

-Rogue- (1) Smoke Bomb: The Rogue throws a makeshift smoke bomb, causing a smoke screen tocover the targeted area. Enemy units inside the smoke screen are blinded, causing them to miss frequently on attacks. Goblins, on the other hand, use their sly nature to disappear in the confusion, becoming invisible for a few seconds if affected by the fog. As is so common with goblin creations, the Rogue isn't too careful with his ingredients, and the smoke is highly flammable. (2) Fatal Strike: The Rogue employs his most deadly weapon, an extremely fast acting nerve toxin that dissolves after only a few moments of being exposed to air. After taking 2 seconds to carefully apply the deadly toxin to his dagger, the Rogue's next melee attack will deal a massive damage bonus, as well as dealing very high poison damage to the enemy over the next few seconds. The toxin fades if no attacks are made within 7 seconds. (3) Grappling Hook: The Rogue grabs a target unit with his grappling hook and pulls it towards himself, dealing damage if it is an enemy unit. Can be useful for pulling things like turrets or allies out of harms way, as well. (Standard) Opportunist: The Rogue fights dirty, and is an expert at hitting an enemy while they're down. The Rogue's attacks will deal more bonus damage to enemies for each adverse status effect affecting them, such as Mini, Poisoned, Blinded, Bleeding, Sleeping, or Armor Cracked. (Ultimate) Deadly Shadow: The Rogue becomes a living shadow of death, becoming temporarily invulnerable and moving to a target enemy and eviscerating them in a series of swift, vicious slashes dealing massive damage. If the enemy dies before the Rogue has done his full damage, he will move on to a new target and continue the attacks until the full damage is dealt. -Overall- The Rogue is an exceptionally fragile but deadly combatant who lurks around the periphery of a fight, darting in (or pulling enemies out) for swift elimination of vulnerable or high priority targets. He is not just a damage dealer, however, but also an effective controller, able to blind or reposition enemies, as well as help allies retreat or make them invisible. There is a great teamwork dynamic here. For example, the Rogue could support and cover a tank with Smoke Bomb while enemies are being worn down, and have an Engineer ignite the smoke with a Napalm Flask for a finishing blow. With Fatal Strike, combined with abilities like the Alchemist's Super Serum or the Steam Warrior's Tenderizer, the Rogue eliminates priority targets in an instant with a powerful combo finisher. With Grappling Hook, the Rogue can pull enemies right through a Tesla Wall, only to have a Steam Warrior knock them back again with a Rocket Fist. With Opportunist, the Rogue maximizes the effectiveness of all of his ally's debuffs. Though fragile, with the greatest potential for single target damage in the game combined with useful battlefield control skills, the Rogue is a valuable asset for any team!

-Alchemist- (1) Poison Gas: The alchemist tosses a flask filled with a thick, noxious concoction, which shatters upon the ground and spreads a heavy cloud of toxic gas which will debilitate any murlocs while they are in the area, lowering their armor and causing them to take damage over time. The substance is kinda sticky on wet things, and flammable to boot (so your allies can light it on fire). Fortunately, goblinkind has built up something of a resistance to radioactive fallout and similar substances, and is not affected. (2) Unstable Elixir: Move over 'tussin, windex, and chicken soup, there's a new miracle drug in town, and the Alchemist's got it! A dose of this on a target ally will not only fortify their immune systems and boost their armor briefly, it will heal mortal wounds! How does this work? It's a miracle drug, that's how! Further, if the Alchemist takes a moment to shake up his potion before throwing it, it will explode like a soda pop, splashing multiple allies in an area with its healing goodness! (3) Mandragora: The alchemist injects a target murloc with a concoction that causes unwelcome changes inside of a victim murloc's body, destabilizing their genetic structure and slowing their move and attack speed. If the injected murloc dies within 15 seconds, the transmuted blood of the murloc will cause wild growth where it spills on the soil, raising an immobile, vicious plant monster that can entangle hapless enemies who wander near, or even devour weaker "minimized" enemies whole! (Standard) Super Serum: The Alchemist injects a steroid-stuffed super serum into a target allied goblin, filling them with vigor and strength! For a brief few seconds, all of their special abilities and attacks benefit from a damage multiplier. Great for team combos! (Ultimate) Sandman: The Alchemist takes a handful of his specially prepared sleeping sand from his bag and blows it into the midst of the enemy, lulling into a sleep filled with vivid dreams. -Overall- The Alchemist is a capable healer, buffer, and debuffer who always has to keep an eye on his allies. Not only does he need to pay attention to their HP or who's taking the hits, but he also needs to pay attention to combos, offsetting crucial moves with Super Serum to give a massive damage boost. Additionally, he can cripple enemies with poison gas, entangling roots, and sleeping sand. Of course, just as with all the abilities of the previous two classes, all of the Alchemist's abilities synergize well with the abilities of other classes. God Hand can be used to spread poison or minimize enemies for the Mandragora, or Napalm Bombs can use it to create a chain reaction. Opportunist Rogues can take advantage of it to multiply their normal attack damage, and the fact that it wears down and lowers the armor of an area of enemies opens up a big opportunity for the Berserker with Massacre. And that's just the first ability on the list.

-Engineer- (1) Makeshift Turret: The Engineer hastily constructs a turret which will unleash an erratic stream of gunfire on any enemy it acquires. Upgrades increase the caliber of the bullet, dealing more damage and causing mini-knockback (just enough to slow enemy movements), and allow the firing of missiles. Each shot costs 1 mana (or ammo) from the gun, until it is depleted. The turret is generally immobile, save that allies with grappling hooks or rocket fists or whatever can knock it around. (2) Napalm Flask: The Engineer throws a flask of this fearsome liquid at a target point, lighting enemies in the area on fire! Ignited enemies not only take damage over time, but deal damage to their own nearby allies. Additionally, Napalm will ignite any fog clouds, destroying them and causing a chain reaction of explosions! Kaboom! (3) Tesla Coil: The Engineer constructs a Tesla Coil at a target point. The coil itself can launch a connector node to a target point, and create a wall of lightning between those two points, electrocuting any wet, conductive murlocs that pass between them. Upgrades increase the damage dealt, and slow enemies with a paralyzing jolt. The coil gradually loses mana as it depletes its battery with each electrocution. The coils are generally immobile, save that allies with grappling hooks or rocket fists or whatever can knock them around. (Standard) Handyman: The Engineer's melee attacks with his wrench will heal and replenish his own machines, as well as give them upgrade points. Once a turret or coil has enough upgrade points, it will transform into an upgraded version. (Ultimate) Nuclear Holocaust: The ultimate expression of not judging one by their size, the Engineer taps the power of the atom! Warning klaxons sound as a hidden silo within the goblin village opens its doors and launches a missile of legendary proportions which will arrive in 5 seconds, dealing massive damage to all units in the target area and leaving behind radioactive fallout which will sicken murlocs for generations to come. Goblins have evolved to be immune to nuclear fallout and similar effects (That is, those that didn't all died out due to the hijinks of their own kind). -Overall- Despite having the weakest normal attack with his trusty wrench, the Engineer is the ultimate nuker. Able to focus on single targets demolish large groups, the Engineer is a master of mechanized destruction, but lacks the battlefield control or support capabilities of the Rogue or Berserker. As with all of the other classes, teamwork is key. The Engineer has to carefully consider where to place his tesla coils in order to maximize the effect of allies knocking enemies around the map in order to rack up the most hit, pressure the right targets with his turrets, or time his napalm flasks near the end of fog effects in order to cap off their effects with a boom! Further, the engineer changes the environment of the fight and gives his allies extra advantages to consider. Allies can, for example, throw enemies into tesla walls, or throw a turret at a group of enemies.

-Berserker-

(1) Massacre: The Berserker surges forward in a flurry of mad slashes, cutting through anything in the path of his movement, and moving for as long as he channels the spell. Whenever the Berserker stops channelling (with a second click), the Berserker stops moving and deals a particularly powerful finishing blow to all enemies in the surrounding area. Further, the finishing blow's shockwave will disperse fog effects, widening their area. (2) Abattoir: The Berserker becomes a whirling storm of claws, teeth, and general unpleasantness which catches up all surrounding enemies and whirls them about himself in a tornado of flayed bodies, dealing damage as long as enemies are caught in the whirlwind of claws. While using Abattoir, the Berserker can move slowly and is immune to magic, except for movement effects like Grappling Hook and Rocket Fist. Try throwing the Berserker around like a living weapon! (3) Bestial Roar: The Berserker lets forth a bloodcurdling battle cry, terrifying the surrounding murlocs and causing them to back away quickly, and raising the Berserker's melee attack damage. Additionally, the affected enemies lose their nerve and are stunned briefly. (Standard) Frenzy: The Berserker flips out, dropping any pretense of defense and slashing wildly at his foes like a rabid ferret fresh from the fires of hell. While active, the Berserker takes double damage but attacks significantly faster and cleaves through enemies, dealing damage in an area with each melee attack. Further, each successful attack in this state fuels the Berserker's bloodlust, restoring some of his mana. (Ultimate) Rampage: He's the best at what he does, but what he does... isn't very nice. You wouldn't like him when he's angry. I ask you, true believers, what is better than a musclebound green giant or a vicious berserker with adamant claws? That's right, a vicious musclebound green giant berserker with claws! And that's what this little guy will turn into, increasing his size, maximum hp, hp regeneration, attack speed, attack damage, armor, and movement speed for the duration. Additionally, his attacks can pulverize the ground, sending nearby murlocs flying like puny ragdolls! -Overall- The Berserker is a frenzied, screaming, spiky little green ball of rage destined to live forever in the racial memory of traumatized murlockind who barrels through rank upon rank of foes in a mad orgy of blood and carnage, leaving only a red stain in his wake. If the Rogue is the best at assassinating powerful single targets, then the Berserker is the best at dismembering innumerable hordes of relatively innocent, helpless conscripts. As with every other class, there is a teamwork dynamic here. The Berserker can only really open up with Frenzy if he's being protected by his allies, since it leaves him vulnerable. Further, the Berserker can take advantage of enemies funneled into lines or close groups or amplify fog effects with Massacre. The Berserker can slam a few enemies into a tesla wall repeatedly with just one use of Abattoir, or he can be pulled about like a living weapon with grappling hook or rocket fist to grab up more enemies in his deadly whirlwind. And those are just a few of the possibilities.

So, thoughts on the classes revealed thus far?

What more do ya want?

Well i meant that the post seemed to be the same as the last on with update, but i might be wrong
so sorry if i am

 

[Thurandill]

In how much time will the map be finished ?

 

[Mr.Goblin]

Goblin's Tale is still on hold.. no new stuff yet.. cya later.

 

[Luffy_299]

Will there be any evidence on where is the tuskarr guy?

 

[Deolrin]

Maliko Sharkbait is a hidden merchant. If you are willing to take the risk and use your between-wave time to find him, you are surely welcome to try, but otherwise I'm pretty sure his location won't be revealed, like the rest of the secret and hidden things in the game. You'll have to find them by yourself.

By the way, Mr.Goblin; you might consider editing Ricky's texture a bit. His face looks like an old man's face.

 

[Sado]

After more than 600 comments and still nothing!

Well what you need (just don't tell me time ) to finish this one!
Maybe I can help with some ideas, triggers, maybe terrain etc etc?

 

[Mr.Goblin]

pretty much motivation and time... and I'm honest, all the triggers are covered by Caedrus, the gameplay is convered by him and me, the lore is done, the terrain is done by me, (still to finish the terrain tough )

anyway, basicly we don't need your help, but we do appreciate alot.

and why I haven't worked on GT? cause of Scars of Conflict mostly and because of my art projects too.. yeah, GT needs some love from Mr.Goblin :\

 

[PROXY]

Double post

anyway, take your time I think most of us don't have problems with time, as long as it ends up good

[Atami]

Where can i download this?

 

[Linaze]

By Santa's beard... If you can't find no download link, the chance of this not being released is quite high, don't you think?

 

[Dromlexer]

Seems like I can't wait until it's released before my school begins. (about a week)
I want test it after it's released. <.<

 

[clockwork2]

core!this looks like a great project I'll be waiting for its release(by the way i like the alchemist a bit like Santa clause)

 

[refi]

Dude, I can't stand waiting for release
I like everything here for now

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

Mr. Goblin! The public are going crazy!!! They nearly chewed my leg off! :O I hope we can get to a beta at some time soon...

 

[Mr.Goblin]

I'm sorry but Goblin's Tale is far from being my priority right now, if you guys want to know, I just got a contract to make the art for a flash-game, that is going to be sell on internet, so I'm basically right now working on my C.V and I'm getting experience from this. So the hobby of modding warcraft3 is far less important to me right now....

I'm deeply sorry for those who have been/are still waiting, but life is life, and warcraft3 is just a game... I promised you I was going to finish Goblin's Tale, and I will.. just not right now, or maybe not in the incoming months either..

have a nice day..

with all my respect

Vincent (Aka Mr.Goblin)

 

[Gamecrafter_DK]

Hehe... We could throw a bone? release a small apetizer, or something?... Then again, i don't know how far Caedrus is coming.

 

[light bolt30]

This seems like a well thought out project!

 

[Caedrus]

Hehe... We could throw a bone? release a small apetizer, or something?... Then again, i don't know how far Caedrus is coming.

Oh, I could've been done long ago, but there's no point on me working on it if M.G isn't. Really I'm just waiting on Mr. Goblin to take an interest in his own work again. *Sigh*

 

[Koloricsi]

too bad, i was following this project for so long, and i hoped to play it soon

 

[Greedforce]

wow you´ll have to tell me when this one´s done!!!

Goblins Rules!!!

 

[Zzonehardy]

OMFG This is just what I have been looking for! You guyz should give me a job I will see how I can helP! I WANT THIS FINISHED!!!!

By Santa's Beard? I am gonna have to use that sometime...

Anyway.... I am sad that this has been discontinued as well but you guys should leave Mr. Goblin alone jeez...

 

[Marc Mamales]

[Anonno]

[Mr.Goblin]

GOBLIN'S TALE IS DEAD!

you guys don't seem to understand...
Now, I'm sorry for all my folowers, but I'm sick of moding warcraft3 and my reasons are simple, because I don't enjoy modding warcraft3.

and no I'm not letting anyone finish this project, and no this project isn't going to be a waist of time. Because I'm keeping everything that have been done so far and doing illustration based on this project for my portfolio..

now as the message stipulates, indeed, THIS PROJECT IS DEAD for warcraft3. Last comment, I'll ask a moderator to close this thread.
